Killing City.
"Ugh ah~"
Within the blood-red shrouded Hell Slaughter Arena, Tang San casually threw out several hidden weapons, and a few figures fell down in response.
Above, Tang Chen looked at Tang San's slaughtering scene and couldn't help but slightly nod: "Your son is not bad. He has a bit of my shadow from back then."
"Xiao San has been smart since he was young. I don't know how he managed to learn these self-created soul skills."
Tang Hao said somewhat flattered, quickly bowing in respect.
Tang Chen continued looking at Tang San below, without turning his head, "Some geniuses are born different. When I was sixteen, I already created my first self-created soul skill. Some time ago, that young man named Shui Wuhen also created quite a few self-created soul skills. Geniuses are not something ordinary people can speculate about.
Your talent is actually not bad, but compared to truly top-tier geniuses, you are still missing something."
At the same time, Tang Chen was thinking inwardly whether he should choose Tang San as the inheritor of the Shura God.
He had been considering this question for a long time. From a rational perspective, letting Tang San inherit the Shura God position was naturally the best choice. After all, with his current condition, it was almost impossible for him to pass the Shura God's ninth trial.
Even so, Tang Chen did not want to give up easily, because becoming a god was his lifelong ideal.
"I really am getting old. If it were before, I would never be so indecisive."
Tang Chen let out a soft sigh, then his eyes sharpened as he made up his mind.
"However…"
At this moment, Tang Chen's mind suddenly shifted, "Before that, I need to go somewhere else."
His thoughts drifted away, as if a stunning woman in red appeared before his eyes, looking at him gently and warmly.
On the other side of the Hell Slaughter Arena, Hu Liena was looking down at Tang San with complicated eyes.
Although the Spirit Hall had captured and even crippled Tang Hao, Tang San had not chosen to act against Hu Liena. What kind of thoughts lay within this was something even Tang San himself could not clearly explain.
He only became even more distant toward Hu Liena.
"Tang Yin, what exactly have you been through recently?"
...
"It's been so long, why haven't those two siblings come out yet?"
Inside a quaint pavilion, Shui Yue Ruo took a sip of red tea and looked toward the direction of the secret chamber.
This was already the tenth time she had looked over today. When Shui Wuhen and Shui Bing'er first entered the secret chamber, Shui Yue Ruo originally thought it was just an ordinary seclusion, so she didn't pay much attention.
But unexpectedly, Shui Wuhen and Shui Bing'er had been in seclusion for three whole months, which already exceeded her longest seclusion time.
One must know that although soul masters on the Douluo Continent possessed extraordinary power, aside from Titled Douluo, the lifespan of other levels was not much different from ordinary people. It was just that their bodies were stronger, immune to illness, and could live slightly longer, but still within the mortal realm.
Only Titled Douluo could extend their lifespan. It was even said that Peerless Douluo could live for a thousand years, though no one knew if that was true.
Shui Yue Ruo felt this was mostly a rumor. After all, the previous top powerhouses of the soul master world, the Twin Pillars Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, had only appeared a little over a hundred years ago, and now they were nowhere to be seen.
A large amount of evidence also proved that most Titled Douluo, even dying of old age, only lived around two hundred years, far from a thousand.
Because of this, Shui Wuhen and Shui Bing'er's three-month seclusion made Shui Yue Ruo uneasy. After all, three months was indeed quite long for beings whose lifespan was only around a hundred to two hundred years.
Just as Shui Yue Ruo was feeling uneasy, a pillar of ice-blue light suddenly shot up into the sky, piercing the heavens.
The students and teachers of Tianshui Academy were instantly blown back by the energy radiating from the pillar. Not only Tianshui Academy—everyone in Tianshui City felt their breathing suppressed by this massive energy fluctuation.
In the pavilion, Shui Yue Ruo subconsciously circulated her soul power, barely preventing herself from being blown away.
Then she looked toward the direction of the light pillar, her eyes instantly narrowing, "That direction… it's where Wuhen and Bing'er are in seclusion!"
The enormous ice-blue light pillar lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating. At that moment, at the center of the pillar, a figure was floating in midair without any external support.
"Flying through the air… a Titled Douluo."
Shui Yue Ruo murmured under her breath.
She recognized that figure—it was Shui Wuhen, who had been in seclusion for three months.
In midair, soul rings slowly emerged around Shui Wuhen's body, which he no longer concealed.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black…
When these undisguised soul rings appeared, everyone in Tianshui City who could see them went into an uproar, because this… defied all logic.
Shui Yue Ruo's expression was also somewhat dazed. Although she had already learned during the hunt for Shui Bing'er's soul rings that past experience was not absolute, Shui Wuhen's soul ring configuration still struck her worldview with tremendous impact.
A ten-thousand-year first ring, a ten-thousand-year third ring—was this really something a human could achieve?
But just when Shui Yue Ruo thought today's shock had already been enough to overturn everything she knew, the next golden-red soul ring made her eyes widen even further.
Blood-red represented ten-thousand-year soul rings, so what exactly did this golden-red soul ring mean?
Could it be…
Almost instinctively, Shui Yue Ruo thought of the possibility that the golden-red color represented something beyond ten-thousand-year soul rings.
"Gulp~"
She swallowed unconsciously. If that was true, she could not imagine how powerful Shui Wuhen truly was. Perhaps the strongest Titled Douluo in history was about to be born.
Shui Wuhen's eighth soul ring was also golden-red, though the golden patterns within it were slightly fewer compared to the seventh.
Even so, it was still shocking beyond belief, because there were actually two soul rings beyond ten-thousand-year level.
"The ninth one should also be golden-red, right?"
Shui Yue Ruo thought.
Although Shui Wuhen was only eighteen years old, he had previously easily dealt with several Supreme Elders of the Shuitian Sect. Combined with his ability to fly, in Shui Yue Ruo's eyes, Shui Wuhen was undoubtedly a Titled Douluo.
The only question now was how strong the ninth soul ring's golden color would be.
At this moment, the ninth soul ring around Shui Wuhen also began to emerge.
It was an ice-blue soul ring, emitting a faint, shimmering glow. Although not as dazzling as the golden-red soul rings, the moment it appeared, it instantly suppressed all the others.
Even the ferocious golden-red soul rings felt like fireflies before the moon in front of this ice-blue soul ring.
"I… ice-blue soul ring?"
